Calabria: Terra Incognita

Calabria is a Terra Incognita I took time to discover. The rest of Italy is described by the countless travellers who came before me, from as far back as the Renaissance. Not so the tip of the boot, with its mountain barrier that was avoided by early `tourists`: writers, artists and wealthy Europeans undertaking the famous Grand Tour would embark at Naples and alight in Sicily. `It was too far, too inaccessible, too vast, too impenetrable`.
